Amy bought a box of chocolates originally priced at $14. She received a 15% discount on the original price, and then she paid a 4% sales tax on the purchase price. What is the total amount that Amy paid for the box of chocolates?
A.
$11.90
B.
$12.38
C.
$16.10
D.
$15.46
D. $15.46
Calculation:
1. Calculate the discount: 15% of $14 = $2.10
2. Subtract the discount from the original price: $14 - $2.10 = $11.90
3. Calculate the sales tax: 4% of $11.90 = $0.476
4. Add the sales tax to the discounted price: $11.90 + $0.476 = $12.38
Therefore, Amy paid $12.38 for the box of chocolates.
